I’m getting a little more organised. Over the weekend I managed to get the last of the Christmas cards in the post and to cook industrial quantities of lentils and chicken stew, so I’ve got ready meals in the freezer.
Last night I managed to get to yoga. Only three students turned up, so the teacher asked what we wanted to do. I said, “Relaxation,” since my head was buzzing with everything I need to get done. The other two said, “Stretching.”
So of course we did stretching. But since it was rather cold, it had to be energetic stretching to warm us up. And since the other two are far more advanced than I am, a lot of it was stuff I couldn’t do at all. And boy did I ache this morning!
On the other hand, it reminded me that I used to have almost that much trouble with stuff I can do now, so obviously I’ve made more progress than I realised. I’m now merely very bad at yoga, instead of absolutely terrible.
The Christmas decorations are up in Santa Cruz, and most of the villages too. I particularly liked this Christmas “tree” outside a shop on the main street in Santa Cruz. It’s made from the dead flower stalk of an agarve plant.
